DOWLEX™ 2355

Generic Family: Polyethylene, EnhancedSupplied by: The Dow Chemical Company
DOWLEX 2355 Polyethylene Resin is an ethylene-octene copolymer, produced in the proprietary solution process of The Dow Chemical Company. It has a unique molecular structure with a controlled side chain distribution, which provides excellent stress crack resistance properties combined with very good Long Term Hydrostatic Strength.

Processability: Typical extrusion temperatures for processing of DOWLEX 2355 Polyethylene Resin range from 190 to 230° C. The use of a reverse temperature profile may be beneficial on certain types of processing equipment. For further information, see our Extrusion Guideline.

Applications:
Pipes for hot and cold water systems, e.g.:
  • floor heating
  • wall heating/cooling
  • ceiling cooling
  • radiator connections
  • warm / cold drinking water distribution
  • heat recovery systems
  • solar panels
